Answer 1

What is the job market like for teachers?

Job Outlook

Overall employment of kindergarten and elementary school teachers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2019 to 2029, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Rising student enrollment should increase demand for kindergarten and elementary teachers, but employment growth will vary by region.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that new jobs for kindergarten and elementary teachers will grow by 17 percent from 2010 to 2020, with much of this growth being attributed to reducing student-teacher ratios and increasing enrollment.

Microsoft Office skills are some of the most in-demand skills. Competency in Word, Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook are desirable skills among new hires and can be pivotal for current employees to advance.
